Hey friends,

Thanks for the reply. I am 5 years out since my initial dx. I had the A/C & taxol regimen but was on the arm that did not receive herceptin, double masectomy-no radiation. I had a total hysterectomy 11 years ago due to a very extreme case of endometriosis that created a tumor the size of a grapefruit (so no tamoxifin for me). This tumor was attached to my bladder. Maybe there is a connection to my problem from that.

I am hoping your right and it is rare for the HER2 cancer to spread to the bladder. So if there are any ladies out there that ended up having it in your bladder or intestines, please let me know your circumstance. Perhaps other would like to hear about it since it is rare.

I really appreciate the feed back.
Kathy
